And last, but certainly not least...

Defiant: Space Vehicle Launch Complex (1987) (http://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/87/defiant/)

Special thanks to Tim Mizak for his help in this update!

I liked the commercial they had for the defiant Space Shuttle

Man, thank God I didn't watch that commercial back then, I'd have suffered a heart attack! :p

What was the GI JOE Folder? The machine gun defense, and the mortar defense both have that listed and it looks to be seperate from the blueprints and the sticker sheet.

The mortar defense is the only one I had/have as a kid. Also, I find it funny that GI JOE kept a big barrel of oil and some gas cans next to explosives :P

I don't know if it is worth noting, but the Defiant, due to stock inventory supplies was available as late as 1992 through stores such as Toys R Us. Even though discontinued in 1989 production wise.

I clearly recall seeing Defiant complexes being available from the back room at TRU all the way to 1992/93. They were all gone by Christmas '92.

Oh how I wish...

Thanks for the great work you guys are putting into updating the archive. The remastered pictures are beautiful and I love all the extra information that has been added to each vehicle/playset.

I know what you mean. The TRU in Fairfax, VA had them in 91, 92, and I'm not sure when they ran out. I believe the price was $99.
